It's been some time since I found a new fandom. Although the rpg rps has kept me pretty occupied and happily so. Especially a few pups in particular. *pets them*
Still, much as I love my guys, my fingers can get itchy from time to time. I don't think I can add anything to the rather rich SW TPM fandom that wouldn't rehash fiction already in the fandom mainstream. Of course, fans aren't supposed to think thoughts like that, are they? Otherwise this fandom I say is so rich, would never have gotten that way to begin with! However, it's been a long time since Qui-Gon has whispered in my ear. And I tell you, there was a time I couldn't shut the muse up.
And there is still good stuff out there being written. Just jog over tomrshamill for one example, a mere 24 hours old.
Last night, I read a ST story and I was surprised at just how alive and how familair the Spock/McCoy muses were to me. Normally, when I haven't had an interest in something for a very long time, I tend to forget the specifics, the brain can only hold so much, right?
But Kirk/Spock and McCoy were part of my childhood, I watched ST every chance I got, I believed in the ideologies of the series. It made a real difference in my life. And the personalities of the characters were so ingrained in my mind. I was writing fanfiction in my head every night, that was never written down. But they lived there, in my mind. And they gave me comfort when I was a painfully shy kid. Oh hush, I really did used to be terribly shy. You could say boo and I'd run away.
So now, these guys, who have been so long dormant, have been woken up and I'm torn, wondering if I really want to jump on the ST slash bandwagon. *sigh* It's tempting, really. Maybe I should go in search of the good stuff first...

I have friends on the East Coast, West Coast, Upper Mid-west and they ALL have dark chocolate M&Ms. Here in Kansas City, there's nada, zilch! I call the M&M's store (they give the number online) and they aren't being carried by the online store. Talk about a marketing ploy that's more parts frustration than anything! And is it just me, or has there been a real dearth of SW collectibles, this time around? With the other movies you couldn't turn around in a store without stumbling over a SW display.
